A tangible record produced after a firearms exercise, the resultant paper or digital image displays the projectile impacts on a designated aiming point. For example, an individual might review the placement of holes on a paper surface following practice with a pistol, assessing accuracy and consistency.
Analysis of these records provides crucial feedback for skill development in marksmanship. Historically, physical representations were the primary method for evaluating performance and adjusting technique. This form of documentation allows for the objective tracking of progress, identification of weaknesses, and refinement of aiming or trigger control.
Subsequent sections will detail the different types of these records, methods for their interpretation, and technologies employed in modern scoring systems. These topics will cover both traditional methodologies and contemporary advancements in the field.
